By yesterday night I finished reading this book And Then There Were None by the famous mystery writer Agatha Christie. I would say that this is the best novel I have ever read, not necessarily the best book. The book is cute, just 275 pages and can be finishe within 2-3 days. I shouldn’t take longer because no one wants to wait for the mystery to be unlocked.

The story is based on a murder plan for 10 people. These ten people are ‘bad people’ but have escaped the law. They come to an island and they get killed themselves by each other through the tactical plot. Who was the murderer and how all the deaths happened is a million dollar question which is answered only in the last 5 pages. Its hard to wait for that area of the book, but there is no choice but to wait all along as you read the story.

I bought this book because it was in the top 10 sold books of all time. This one claimed to be sold more than 100 million copies. From these stats I can come to a conclusion that there couldn’t be extraordinarily better novels than this, this is the threshold point for mystery novels. I guess books can never make it up to the grandeur for a cinema. Anyway, its still good for a 6 - 10 hours of time pass and relaxation.

I would rate this book as 7.5 / 10.
